Digital Money AdvisorThe Philosopher Kings of Bitcoin with Andrew Bailey, Bradley Rettler, Craig Warmke, and Troy CrossIn a Nutshell: One of the beautiful things about Bitcoin is its interdisciplinary nature. To really “get” Bitcoin, you have to have at least a working knowledge of a wide variety of disciplines. That’s one reason why I love talking to academic philosophers who are also Bitcoiners. They have frameworks to help us understand the expansive and interconnected nature of Bitcoin and the kinds of questions we should be asking ourselves about it. Here’s Andrew Bailey, Bradley Rettler, and Craig Warmke writing at Coindesk: Philosophy is all-inclusive, the ultimate bundled interdiscipline. Bitcoin pairs well with phi...2022-01-135h 15Digital Money AdvisorEquality, Sufficiency, and What is Money with Andrew BaileyGuest: Andrew M.

Insight: The deeper you dive down the Bitcoin rabbit hole -- especially on social media -- the more fervent the belief in Bitcoin's power can be.
